Contributions of congruent pitch motion cue to human activity in manual control

The contribution of pitch motion cues to the performance of human pilots in compensatory tracking task are evaluated from pairs of uniquely planned experiments on a motion based research simulator, which allow separation of the visual responses from combined motion-visual responses. Analytical time series human pilot models of the least squares structure are evaluated from the input-output data and the results are discussed in terms of familiar parameters of pilot models and predictor operator. Beneficial contributions of pitch motion cues and subject differences are presented.
